Not a big fan of Preconceived Notions
Go ahead and conceive some stuff before assuming something like its difficulty

You've never left the gas station...?
You dont have the right to touch on anything out of your scope of comfort

when people say "a job is just adult daycare"
they mean its a building of people who are all offloading their work to other people,
and like 10 employees end up catching the hot potato.
in all companies, the workload is spread out over 10% of employees, and the other 90% pretend to work until it hits 5pm.
this is why it is ABSOLUTELY VITAL for you to get good at doing bad work.
hand shit in right on the deadline.
make your manager prolong every meeting.
ask a million questions about a task instead of using your intuition to do it independently.
it should be obvious to the dorks who actually care about their company that you're NOT the guy to go to when shit needs to be done.
normie NPCs will get pissed off & do all your work for you before they muster up the courage to fire you.
remember - Napoleon Bonaparte, the conqueror of Europe, the greatest military mind of all time,
took 35 months of leave from his regiment in the 69 months he was with his regiment.
lied to his commanding officers at every turn to get more time off or make his work easier.
did this mean he had no ambition to work hard? of course not.
he obsessively dedicated himself to HIS OWN goals. not the goals of a blue haired HR boomer.
he had ZERO respect for authority.
success can be predicted by how much surface area you've covered...
ask any successful guy about how he got into the game & you'll quickly realize that he has done EVERYTHING
i've ran agencies, software, info, affiliate, youtube automation & more...
not everything was a massive success but everything i did taught me something - whether that's project management, distribution, copywriting, coding, a skill like editing/design, you name it...
all of these skills i built up through these assymetric bets has indirectly transferred into future ventures
you need to be surface-area maxxing - don't sit on ideas, use them as opportunities to stack skills/experience
The easiest way to avoid looking bad is to do nothing, but if you do nothing, you look bad too.
So if you're going to look bad either way, you as well do that thing you want.
you must believe you are special and then go so hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. you must wage a war daily against the ordinary outcome, until the belief you invented out of nothing in a room by yourself has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.
replacing your dreaming addiction with a DOING addiction is the #1 way to fast-track success...
dreaming/thinking gives no measurable output, so focus on doing things that do
